Data collection and processing when registering to pay via Paymorrow
When paying via Paymorrow, personal data is transmitted to the payment service provider InterCard AG (Alstertor 9, 20095 Hamburg; "Paymorrow") and further processed there.

 
For the “Purchase on Invoice” payment method, Paymorrow checks whether the customer’s request to purchase on invoice can be accepted in view of any risks of non-payment or default on claims (acceptance check in accordance with risk policies), or whether another payment method should be used in coordination with the online shop operator. For this purpose, after the customer selects the “Purchase on Invoice” payment method, Paymorrow conducts its own acceptance check. This requires an identity, credit and creditworthiness check by the credit reference agencies listed below.

For the “Pay in Installments” payment method, Paymorrow checks whether the customer’s request to pay in installments can be accepted in view of any risks of non-payment or default on claims (acceptance check in accordance with risk policies), or whether another payment method should be used in coordination with the online shop operator. For this purpose, after the customer selects the “Pay in Installments” payment method, Paymorrow conducts its own acceptance check. This requires a credit and identity check by the credit reference agencies listed below.
 
The data is processed for the purpose of offering the selected payment method and conducting the credit check required for it.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
As part of the identity check, you consent to your personal data being transmitted by Paymorrow to SCHUFA Holding AG (Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden; "SCHUFA") for the purpose of verifying your identity. SCHUFA will then transmit back to Paymorrow the degree of correspondence, expressed as a percentage, between the personal details it has stored and the personal details you have provided, as well as, where applicable, a notice of a previous identity verification based on an identification document conducted by SCHUFA or another contractual partner. Paymorrow can therefore use the correspondence rates transmitted to determine whether a person with the address you provided is recorded in SCHUFA’s database. No further data exchange or transmission of differing addresses takes place, and your data is not stored in SCHUFA’s database. Only the fact that the address was checked with SCHUFA is stored for evidentiary purposes.
The following personal data is required from you to carry out the creditworthiness check as part of the acceptance review: form of address, first and last names; place of residence (street, house number, postal code, town/city); date of birth; telephone number. The use, processing and disclosure of the aforementioned personal data by the online shop operator and Paymorrow, as well as the disclosure of this data by Paymorrow to the aforementioned credit reference agencies for the purpose of checking your creditworthiness, requires your consent.
You will therefore be asked during the ordering process to consent to the storage, processing and use of your personal data by the online shop operator or Paymorrow for the purpose of checking your creditworthiness and to the disclosure of this data to credit reference agencies, including the disclosure of data to third parties.
Paymorrow reserves the right to transfer personal data to service providers or financial partners commissioned by Paymorrow, or to grant them access to such data, for the purposes stated above, insofar as this is necessary for them to perform their tasks.
We fully respect the customer’s decision not to give consent. In this case, however, neither the online shop operator nor Paymorrow can accommodate the customer’s request to purchase on invoice.

For the purpose of creditworthiness checks, Paymorrow or partner companies commissioned by Paymorrow may, within the limits permitted by law and taking into account your respective legitimate interests in preventing the transmission or use of your data, transmit your address details to credit reference agencies for creditworthiness and credit checks when you register for purchase on invoice. We obtain information about the customer’s previous purchasing and payment behavior and creditworthiness information based on mathematical-statistical methods using address data (scoring - to calculate payment probabilities) for the purpose of creditworthiness and credit checks from the following credit reference agencies, which store data for providing information:

You may request information about the data stored about you by the respective credit reference agencies from the agencies named. Data concerning the conclusion of the contract, the application, the commencement and/or termination of a contractual relationship may also be transmitted to the agencies named. The online shop operator / Paymorrow may also notify the agencies of any conduct that does not comply with the contract. The agencies store this data so that, upon credible demonstration of a legitimate interest, they can provide their contractual partners with information to assess customers’ creditworthiness or about a customer’s address for the purpose of locating debtors. Paymorrow ensures that the credit reference agencies named process and/or use your personal data exclusively for the purpose of “creditworthiness and credit checks.”

If your request for “payment in installments” has been accepted, you have the option of applying for the “payment in installments” payment method through Paymorrow’s partner bank. To do so, after successfully completing your order in the online shop, you will be redirected to the “Payment in Installments” offer in our customer portal. To use the service, you must follow the instructions in the “Payment in Installments” menu item. The “Payment in Installments” service is provided by our partner bank, Commerzfinanz GmbH.

When submitting your request to pay in installments, you provide Commerzfinanz GmbH with your first and last name, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, and telephone number for the purpose of concluding the credit agreement and processing payment for your online purchases in Paymorrow partner shops. Commerzfinanz GmbH requires this personal data to review and decide on your credit application for the installment payment method.

 
Providing the data is necessary to conclude the contract using the payment method you have selected. Failure to provide the data means that the contract cannot be concluded using the payment method you have selected.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information collected on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide the website operator with other services related to website and internet use. 
This may include collecting the following information, among other things: IP address, date and time of the page visit, click path, information about the browser and device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, and purchasing activities. Google may link your data with other data, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices, and all other data Google has about you.

Google truncates the IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Your personal data is processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal.

The information generated thereby about your use of this website is generally transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

Meta and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data and the transfer of this data to Meta that take place when the service is integrated. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, which specifies the respective responsibilities. The agreement is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools . In particular, we are responsible for fulfilling the information obligations under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Article 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 GDPR insofar as a personal data breach concerns our obligations under the agreement on joint processing. Meta is responsible for enabling data subjects to exercise their rights under Articles 15 - 20 GDPR, complying with the security requirements of Article 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and fulfilling the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 GDPR insofar as a personal data breach concerns Meta's obligations under the agreement on joint processing.
The application serves the purpose of targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising on the Facebook and Instagram social networks. To this end, Meta's remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. When you visit the website, this tag establishes a direct connection to Meta's servers. This transmits to the Meta server which of our pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the Facebook or Instagram social networks, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.
The application also serves the purpose of generating conversion statistics. In this context, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page containing a conversion tracking tag, as well as which actions are taken after being redirected to this website. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself under the TADPF and thereby committed to complying with European data protection principles.
Your personal data is processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal.

When you click on an ad served by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity period, contain no personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, there is no possibility of tracking cookies across the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
